In 1849 James Swan turned his back on his wife and two children, a prosperous ship-fitting business, and the polite and predictable
world of commerce in Boston and fled to the newly opened gold fields in California. Soon sick of the bonanza society, he emigrated
to a shallow harbor called Shoalwater Bay (now Willapa Bay) north of the Columbia River in Washington Territory. Swan eagerly
became a part of the frontier community, enjoying the company of both the white settlers and friendly Indians in the area.
First published in 1857, his classic account of the western frontier remains fresh and timely for the modern reader. Swan
saw himself as both an observer and participant in a barbaric invasion. His interest in the Indians and his acceptance of
them as individuals of importance and integrity emerge clearly in a lively and informed narrative

The Nuu-Chah-Nulth collection covers a period from about 1780 to 1990. The various works making up this collection are roughly
divided between the northern, central, and southern Nuu-Chah-Nulth tribes of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, and
the Makah, a subgroup living on the Olympic Peninsula at Neah Bay, Washington State in the United States. Major studies in
this collection are: Drucker, Colson, Swan, Koppert, Sapir and Swadesh, Arima and Dewhirst, and Reniker and Gunther. Other
ethnographic topics discussed in this collection are: the girl's puberty ceremony and potlatch in Sapir; Makah games in Dorsey;
an analysis of the Nuu-Chah-Nulth wolf ritual in Ernst; changing marriage patterns over a one hundred year period (1860-1960),
in Gunther, and an account of a modern (ca.1970s) Nuku-Chah-Nulth community (Vancouver Island) in historical perspective in
